Hi, I’m now in a little town called Fort St. John but that’s in BC, Canada. We started the day by fixing some things on the bike. It was the biggest operation we’ve done on the bikes since we started the trip but the bikes have done a good job overall. We changed tires, both rear and front, and we put some good street tires under the bikes. We also changed the chains on the bikes but that was especially necessary because like I said before, my chain broke not long ago. Everything went well and the bikes are ready to go! Besides this operation, this day was pretty normal. We rode to For St John and passed the beautiful landscape in a nice weather. The heat is constantly increasing now when we’re going further south. The motorcycle clothing is getting too hot for us so we have to fix that problem somehow. We had to make a stop today because there were men working on a bridge that we needed to use. In front of us there was this old Harley Davidson with a cart attatched to it and two people on the bike. W started to chat with this people and found out that they were Americans headed home after traveling to Alaska. They were married and probably in theyr 60’s og 70’s. The husband was huge with thick beard and she was big also but didn’t have as much beard! But anyway, they were heavy, carrying a lot of stuff with them so I felt a little sorry for the bike. But what stood up from talking to them was when they told us that they were going to go on a cruise to Alaska but decided to ride the Harley while they still could because they could always go on a cruise later =) It’s never too late! But tomorrow we’ll keep heading south and we’ll pass through Dawson Creek where Alaska higway begins. “Mile Zero” is there but that’s the beginning of this famous road. We will then go on towards Vancouver but we haven’t decided which way we’re going to go. We’ll see. Ttyl - Sverrir
